NuMaker-IoT-MA35D0-A2

The NuMicro® MA35D05K series is a high-performance microprocessor designed for industrial edge device applications.

It is based on dual 64-bit Arm® Cortex®-A35 cores with speeds up to 650 MHz, and one 180 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 core. Each Cortex®-A35 includes a 32/32 KB I/D L1 cache, and there is a 512 KB shared L2 cache.

The MA35D0 series comes with a built-in 128 KB IBR (Internal Boot ROM) and supports secure booting from four modes: USB, SD/eMMC, NAND, and SPI Flash Memory (SPI NOR/SPI NAND). To facilitate system design and manufacturing, the MA35D0 series offers an LQFP package stacked with DDR SDRAM, with capacities of up to 512 MB. This integration significantly reduces PCB layers, size, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

For industrial applications requiring high security, the MA35D0 series provides practical security mechanisms such as Arm® TrustZone® technology and secure boot. It also includes built-in cryptographic accelerators for AES, SHA, ECC, RSA, SM2 / 3 / 4, and a TRNG, as well as Key Store and OTP memory to protect sensitive and high-value data.

In addition to security features, the MA35D0 series offers high-speed connectivity and advanced control interfaces suitable for edge device applications. These include Megabit / Gigabit Ethernet, high-speed USB host and device, SD3.0 / eMMC, and CAN FD.

The NuMaker-IoT-MA35D0-A2 evaluation board based on the NuMicro® MA35D05KI67C microprocessor has rich peripherals such as one set of Gigabit Ethernet, USB2.0 high-speed host and device, one set of SD3.0 in SD slot, one user-defined key button, one user-defined LED and two GPIO extension connectors that can implement UART, CAN FD, SPI, I2C, I2S and ADC functions for users to facilitate the evaluation in edge device application, such as industrial control, home appliances, new energy applications, or your creative applications.

The MA35D05Kx67C (x = H, I or J)  is a high-performance microprocessor targeted to industrial edge device applications. It is based on dual 64-bit Arm Cortex-A35 cores with speeds up to 650 MHz and 32/32 KB I/D L1 cache for each core, a 512 KB shared L2 cache, and an additional 180 MHz Arm® Cortex-M4 core acts as a real-time processor. Based on these high-performance cores, the MA35D05Kx67C  facilities tiny AI/ML for edge computing.

The MA35D05Kx67C  has a built-in 128 KB IBR (Internal Boot ROM) and supports secure booting from three modes, USB, SD/eMMC and SPI Flash (SPI NOR/SPI NAND). To provide easy system design and manufacture, the MA35D05Kx67C also offers LQFP128 with EPAD package stacked with a DDR3L SDRAM and the size up to 512 MB, which significantly reduces PCB layer, size and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The MA35D05Kx67C is a trusted system for IoT products' security requirements. It includes several advanced security mechanisms such as Nuvoton Trusted Secure Island (TSI), an isolated secure hardware unit, TrustZone, secure boot, built-in cryptographic accelerators, and a TRNG, as well as Key Store and OTP memory. All the security operations are performed in the TSI to protect sensitive and high-value data. The features also satisfy customers in IEC 62443 certification requirements.

For high-end edge IIoT gateway requirements, the MA35D05Kx67C  provides multiple advanced and high-speed connection interfaces, such as Gigabit Ethernet, SDIO3.0, USB 2.0 HS, and CAN FD, for edge gateway and new energy applications.
